[Technology development].

GEMOC’s research, training and Industry Interaction programs require a high level of geochemical analytical technology, which is provided by the state-of-the-art facilities available to the Key Centre. Continual development of both technology and innovative analytical and microanalytical approaches is required to meet our research aims and the needs of our industry collaborators. GEMOC develops new analytical strategies as required, to determine the chemical and isotopic composition of geological materials (both solid and fluid) in solution and in situ. Special emphasis is being placed on the development of advanced in situ microbeam methods. These developments are transmitted to industry via open and collaborative research, through technology exchange visits and workshops, and as an integral part of the training program.
